The Go Travel! PikaPackage giveaway!
Posted by Amy on Thursday August 5, 2010
For this August, I thought that it would be fitting to have a package that is dedicated to traveling. Summertime has always been about going to different places to discover something new, and this year it’s been a little quieter than usual on the internet because of it.
Once the vacation is over (or for those who are stuck at home like me,) I think it would be fantastic to be able to collect a package that can remind you about how fantastic it is to go see the world — and this is the premise of the Go Travel! PikaPackage. I hope that this would also inspire you to go out and explore – no matter the season!
For this theme we have curated a total of 14 illustrators who submitted their work in the form of prints, zines, notebooks, stickers, buttons and paper toys (more would have participated, if it weren’t for the traveling season — a catch-22 indeed!):
1. Annie Galvin of 3 Fish Studios
2. Aileen Holmes
3. Alison Tang of Little Clouds
4. Angela Keoghan
5. Chum Mcleod
6. Donna McKenzie of Corella Design
7. Émilie Boudet
8. Emma Cowley
9. Gaia Cornwall
10. Ilaria Benedetti
11. Kitty Kilian
12. Laura Tarrish
13. Rachael Smith of Penelope and Pip
14. Suzanne L. Vinson
Best of all, you can read all about our participants in this little nifty Go Travel! PikaPackage zine – there’s a short little Q+A in there with each artist and you may just find a new favorite to love!
We have TWO 8-item Go Travel! PikaPackage for grabs (valued at about $70 each!), and TWO lucky winners will get to take home a large loot of lovely items in the mail! All you have to do is just head on to any of the websites above and tell us which one is your favorite artist & why. Drop your note in the comments section by 12th August and we’ll email the winners after!
For those who want to get a Go Travel! PikaPackage of your very own, you can head over to the shop to pick up a package!
{Although participation in the PikaPackage Project is by invitation only, you can notify me of your interest and read more about the project over at our galleria page.}

Petit Reve
Posted by Amy on Monday March 29, 2010
Sarah is an illustrator who runs the Petit Reve Etsy shop with her daughter Michel, and right now she’s raising funds to send her daughter for a foreign exchange trip (to France too, oh my!). So if you’d like to see one lady achieve her dream of going to the land of cheese, head on over to her lovely shop to pick up a print! Sarah’s blog, UnicornPoo also has a lovely collection of her work.
Aren’t moms the best?

Ashkahn
Posted by Amy on Thursday February 25, 2010
Loving the humorous work from Ashkahn (pronounced ash-con). There’s other stuff available from his shop that I’m not showing here for not being not safe for work (NSFW) reasons, though I think it’s hilarious.
I’ll give you three hints: muff, more muffs and booty.

Poketo Papercut wallets
Posted by Amy on Wednesday February 24, 2010
I’m a huge fan of Poketo, but I think their latest collection of papercut series wallets may just be my favorite yet.
Featuring the works of Jayme McGowan, Thereza Rowe, Jared Andrew Schorr and Joe Rogers of Colourbox, these wallets would be awesome when put together! If I had these lovelies they would most likely be framed – they won’t be seeing the inside of my pockets that’s for sure.

Giveaway #28: Anthony Zinonos' loot
Posted by Amy on Tuesday December 1, 2009
I love getting a loot (yes, that’s right) of stuff. Especially when they’re rad and filled with illustrate-y goodness, like this bounty from Anthony Zinonos.
Inside you’ll find one A4 Giclee print, DIY collage kit, ‘Le Dot’ zine, notebook made from vintage and recycled paper and handmade collage badges. I’d say this would make one heck of a stocking stuffer for the lucky winner, wouldn’t you? :)
Comment below to be in the running and be sure to enter by 8th December to be in the running. Did I mention that December 8th is my birthday too? Pity I can’t enter because I would definitely give the birthday girl a big upper hand. Sigh.
Giveaways on Pikaland are global – meaning that EVERYONE from ANYWHERE can enter!

Bang bang you're thread
Posted by Amy on Sunday September 6, 2009
Allison Cole, an artist and illustrator based in Providence, Rhode Island just opened up an Etsy shop filled with all sort of printed goodies, buttons, and more! If you’re like me, then you might probably remember her best for her yeti character in Little Otsu’s The Tour Diary by Allison Cole.
If you need a stronger reason to have one of her works in your home, well you’ll be happy to know that she’s giving away a free Bird Postcard Set with the first 10 orders (she’s now up to 4, so better hurry!)

Posted by Gemma Correll on Friday September 4, 2009
Oh…my…goodness…. aren’t these Checkers sets by The Small Object just the best thing you have ever seen? I love them so much it makes me want to cry a little bit. Find them in her etsy shop.

Gemma Latimer
Posted by Amy on Sunday August 30, 2009
Loving the works of Gemma Latimer who is based in Nottingham. Central to her works is an assortment of strange creatures and characters; images of which were collected at flea markets and charity shops lovingly put together and revealed with the aid of a photocopier.
Read up on her blog for her latest news & works, and also take a peek into her online portfolio while waiting for her website to be ready.
{Thanks for the intro, Amy!}

Mogutakahashi
Posted by Amy on Thursday August 27, 2009
Mogutakahashi is an illustrator based in Tokyo, Japan. I love the fact that her characters have a squishy-like quality to them, and also, I love the cheery color palette!
Her work reminds me of Doinky Doodles, whom I absolutely love – so much silliness and generally happy goods that will brighten up your life that little bit more.
